Appl. No.:

10/051664

Inventors:

Samuel I. Brandt - Malvern PA, US
Jan DeHaan - Downington PA, US

Assignee:

Siemens Medical Solutions Health Services Corporation - Malvern PA

International Classification:

G06F 9/46
G06F 15/02
G06Q 10/00
G06Q 50/00
G05B 19/418

US Classification:

705 9, 705 2, 705 8

Abstract:

A system and user interface integrates and processes event associated messages affecting healthcare delivered to a patient and supports creation, initiation and modification of currently operating workflow processes involving processing of event messages. A method for processing an event representing a change in circumstances potentially affecting healthcare delivered to a patient involves receiving a message identifying an event potentially affecting healthcare delivered to a patient. Predetermined rules are applied to interpret the identified event to determine particular tasks to be performed in response to occurrence of the identified event. The particular tasks are scheduled to be performed by at least one individual in response to the occurrence of the identified event. In addition a database containing records indicating active process instances is searched to identify active process instances of a target process to be replaced by a process comprising the particular tasks. Also a parameter associated with an event is stored at a location available for access by multiple different process task sequences.

US Classification:

705 2, 705 3, 705 8, 705 9

Abstract:

A system for scheduling a set of tasks to be performed by at least one individual to support healthcare delivery employs a method for providing a user interface for processing an event. The event represents a change in circumstances potentially affecting healthcare delivered to a patient. The method involves initiating generation of at least one display image in response to user command. The display image or images support the identification of an event and an associated parameter as well as the designation of a predetermined process associated with the identified event. The display image or images also support user indication of the parameter to be provided to the predetermined process in response to occurrence of the event. The predetermined process comprises a set of tasks to be performed by at least one individual to support healthcare delivery. The display image or images also support designating an executable procedure to be initiated in response to occurrence of the identified event.

International Classification:

A61B 5/00
G06F 19/00

US Classification:

705 3, 600300

Abstract:

A system and method for ordering healthcare services wherein a list of selectable orders for medical services for a given patient is dynamically generated based on medical information of the patient (e. g. , the patient's condition or set of conditions) and presented to a user (e. g. , a physician). In one aspect, a system for ordering patient specific healthcare services comprises a user interface that enables a user to input a medical condition of a patient and to select desired medical services from a list of orderable medical services presented to the user; a services database comprising a plurality of predetermined medical services that are each associated with a medical condition; and an engine for compiling the list of orderable medical services from one or more predetermined medical services in the services database that are associated with the input medical conditions of the patient. A clinical knowledge model is used by the engine to identify a medical condition that is potentially associated with a known or identified medical condition of the patient, based upon potential etiology, potential complication, clinical associations, or any combination thereof.

Filed:

Jan 23, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/358301

Inventors:

Samuel I. Brandt - Malvern PA, US

Assignee:

Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. - Malvern PA

International Classification:

G10L 21/00

US Classification:

7042701

Abstract:

A computerized integrated order entry and clinical documentation and voice recognition system enables voice responsive user entry of orders. The system includes a voice recognition unit for detecting spoken words and converting detected spoken words to data representing commands. A data processor, coupled to the voice recognition unit, processes the data representing commands provided by the voice recognition unit, to provide order and documentation related data and menu options for use by a user, by interpreting the data representing commands using an ordering and documentation application specific ontology and excluding use of other non-ordering or non-documentation application specific ontologies. The ordering application enables initiating an order for medication to be administered to a particular patient, or additional ordered services to be performed. A user interface processor, coupled to the data processor, provides data representing a display image.

Appl. No.:

10/730593

Inventors:

Samuel Brandt - Malvern PA, US
Harm Scherpbier - Fort Washington PA, US
Robert Spena - Downingtown PA, US

International Classification:

G06F017/60

US Classification:

705/002000

Abstract:

A system analyzes data including healthcare orders initiating treatment or services used in patient healthcare. The system includes a data processor and a message processor. The data processor identifies a potential change in use of a particular treatment by examining data, representing multiple orders generated over a particular time period, used in treating multiple patients to identify a number of orders initiating application of a particular treatment to individual patients of the multiple patients to address a particular medical condition. The data processor also determines whether the number of orders exceeds a predetermined threshold and/or whether a rate of change in the number of orders relative to a previously determined number of orders is significant. The message processor initiates generation of a message to alert a message recipient of an identified potential change in use of the particular treatment.
